And there you have Falcon Chris Jones, now and forever a Super Bowl Champion.
Much pride here. Chris is a true warrior for our team. He committed under one coach and they stayed under another. He played through some very dark days as a Falcon and left one year before the team reached a MAC title. He was MAC Defensive Player of the Year his senior year. Drafted by Houston. Cut. Signed by Tampa Bay. Cut after one week. Signed by New England. Two years later? See above.
He's a Falcon Forever and our admiration extends beyond his play at BG to his perseverance in the NFL and his ultimate success. He's not the biggest or the fastest, but he's all football player and he found his way to a franchise where they get that.
By my count, he's the fourth Falcon to win a Super Bowl. That would include Phil Villipiano, Charlie Williams, Diryal Briggs and Jones. If there are others, hit the comments or twitter and I'll get it fixed.
Ay Ziggy Zoomba, Chris Jones. You're a Champion.
